The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

Surviving in a post-apocalyptic world where you must manage a shelter, scavenge for resources, fight zombies, and rebuild civilization with a sense of persistent threat and slow recovery.

What players say

Players say Refuge offers a surprising amount of content for its price, with crafting, farming, and zombie combat, but controls feel clunky and the building system is among the worst in VR. Movement is limited to teleport, has many bugs, and the game feels cheaply put together with reused assets.
